Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” 3 pages done, which isn’t half bad for half an hour. Not as much rewriting now, which I hope means it’s not needed, not just that I’m not catching that it’s needed. I’m through part 1, which is an accomplishment in itself. Now Naolin is trying to talk Missy into going on the scouting mission with him again. I think she may have given in too easily.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” 3 1/2 pages done, including a few new scenes in a row. Blackthore tried to confront some jerk, Naolin realized he can get himself back to Drayune, and Missy, Leahna, and Naolin are finally in Aleutia.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Two pages done, lots of rewriting again. Naolin and Blackthore aren’t as antagonistic toward each other anymore, which may or may not last. Things are feeling more organized, instead of thrown together quickly. Hopefully all of this work will lead to something good.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Four pages today. It was nice to see how quickly the text could go by when I didn’t have to rewrite, and could just read and make notes.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Two pages done, lots of rewriting. It’ll be a whole new story by the time I’m done. Same plot and characters, but different tone and style. That has to be a good thing.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” A few paragraphs of rewriting, nothing spectacular, but at least I managed to do something for a few minutes.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Three pages done.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Suffice it to say, I didn’t do much today. I’ve had a headache since I got off work, and didn’t get much sleep last night. But I still went upstairs to work at around 11 pm, worked for 15 minutes, then realized I couldn’t really concentrate. So I laid down and ended up falling asleep for over an hour.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Four pages done today, because there wasn’t as much rewriting to do on those pages. I’m flying now!

Time worked:  1:28

Work done:  Rewriting and revising “Adventures in Pithea.” 1 1/2 pages done, with an emphasis on the rewriting. And it was an action scene, which have always been harder for me, so I don’t feel as bad not even doing 2 pages. I also realized something–some of the rewriting I’m doing is turning out to be more words than the section being replaced. So if I write 600 words, but what was originally there was only 200, it’s not an accurate reflection of how much work I’m doing when I only got through a page, but wrote more than what was originally there. Though on the other hand, the original pages are double spaced, so when I say I did 1 1/2 pages, it’s really not that much. But hey, I’m on page 28, which is at least past the 10 pages I worried would be all the further I’d get by the end of July.
